Annual turns and four scenarios cover a large number of events from Slave Risings to the Treaty Of Tilsit. The Royal Navy has the odds in its side in combat, but it must control the colonies of the three largest European Empires: The French, Spanish and Dutch. There are merchantmen and privateers to hunt, and all the time the French Army operates safe from most naval interventions. The infant American Republic is all to anxious to take world trade into their bottoms. World-wide map, colony displays, each counter is 10 battleships or 15 frigates. —description from the designer
